It can be daunting trading one career for another, especially when there are PhDs involved. But for Mary Steratore, it led to true artistic expression. Leaving archaeology to create her own fine art, Mary settled in Rome, where her paintings and sculptures were well-received. After showing her work throughout Italy and the US, she developed a new line of jewelry inspired by her sculpture.

Are the ear wires hypoallergenic?
Verified reply from Marisa
The ear wires are sterling silver. Although there are some people who are allergic to silver, most people who are allergic to nickel are not allergic to silver because it doesn't contain nickel. Sterling silver is an almost pure metal usually made from 92.5% silver and 7.5% of other metals like zinc or copper. So they are not hypoallergenic, but most people would not have an allergic reaction to them.
